Question

£50 is divided between Alex, Peter & Angad so that Alex gets twice as much as Peter, and Peter gets three times as much as Angad. How much does Alex get?

Answer 1

Alex gets £ 30

Solution,

Let,

Angad get X

Peter get 3x

Alex get 6x

Now,

`x + 3x + 6x = 50 \\ or \: 10x = 50 \\ or \: x = (50)/(10) \\ x = 5`

Replacing value,

`6x \\ = 6 * x \\ = 6 * 5 \\ = 30`

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Answer 2

Angad gets £5

Peter gets £15

Alex gets £30

Explanation:

Let Angad be x, Then Peter = 3x and Alex = 6x

Condition:

x+3x+6x = 50

=> 10x = 50

Dividing both sides by 10

=> x = 5

So,

Angad gets £5

Peter gets £15

Alex gets £30
